    Good food. FYI the bar is not open seating so youll wait by the wall next to the coats - Think the closet in the lion witch and the wardrobe.

    The pimientos are great. I also really enjoyed the artichoke/manchego stuffed ham. Tortilla espanola was mediocre. Garlic shrimp was good too!

    It's everything you've heard, and more -- but almost impossible to get into without a long wait at peak hours. If you're impatient, El Quinto Pino is a fine nearby alternate.

    Just don't go! Good service, BUT the fish were overcooked and inedible, the sangria is one of the worst I've tried! Also, all the plates are tiny & overpriced.
